PB, re: The .18 xtors won't run at 3GHz thing. I was skeptical on this myself. Now he is claiming that he meant control logic only.

I make it a point to read all Scrumbia's posts and pay attention to whenever he discusses matters related to Processor architecture. He did mention about the control logic - it's you that missed it - because you are not a CPU architecture guy to grasp the whole picture from Scrumbia's posts unless its explained to you. Also, read Scrumbia's posts again and don't leave the subtle qualifiers or technical terms in his comments - especially pay attention where he says ".18 xtors won't run at 3GHz ...." ( "..." indicates few important words you left out from Scrumbia's post - for you the left out part may not look significant or important, but its essential to understand what Scrumbia is trying to elicit)

Pretty sloppy research if this is true, as everyone and their brother has been saying ALU for 36 hours.

It's my recollection that Scrumbia was the first one expressed that if there is any thing running at 3GHz on Willamette chip, then it might be just a tiny circuit on the chip running at 3GHz. The ALU details on this board appeared later in response to his posts.
